It's not often I read an op-ed in the New York Times and confuse it with an article from The Onion. But, I did just that Sunday with Daniel Hamermesh's piece calling for government protections for "The Ugly."

Should the ugly of this nation receive perfered status in line with blacks or any other group in a protected status in this nation. If the anwser is yes, than how would one determine who was ugly enough to receive proctective status such as in job hiring, and how did President Lincoln get as far as he did without a program like this on the books at the time of his election?

Daniel Hamermesh's piece calling for government protections for "The Ugly."

Well.......if ugly was a protected class, then you'd have to go after the plastic surgeons who fix people's noses, chins, boobs, butt, etc. like you do abortion doctors.

Because hey..........plastic surgeons make ugly people beautiful, and we can't have that if they're a protected class.
